A Pokemon one, I thought until fairly recently that after a successful number of launches at the space center in R/S/E you could go to the moon and catch Jirachi. Lol noob :/

Real life idk, when I was a kid I thought back in the early 20th century everything was black and white because that's how their TV was. I'm sure my mum found it highly amusing when she told me it wasn't :/

I used to think I was a nice guy, hahaha, when in fact i'm as much of a scumbag as the next guy!

We have this bird in Australia called the "Plover" Its real name is the "Masked Lapwing"
There is this myth in our country that this bird had venom / poison in the spurs on its wing. This is actually false. So yeah.
There actually psychos but. So its easy to understand why people were lead to believe it.
I have an image here of one.

I've never heard of that. But yeah, they are very protective of their young, when I was in primary school some kids killed a chick by hitting it with a rock and harassing them :'( Most people see them as annoying but they're just following natural instinct. Speaking of myths, did anyone of you gullible Yanks think it was real that we Aussies ride in Kangaroo's pouches to school, There is a violent subspecies of Koala called the Dropbear which is much larger and kills people by dropping onto it's unsuspecting victims from above or that everyone speaks like Steve Irwin and dingoes stealing babies is a significant cause of the infant mortality rate? Because it's all true :D shhhhh, I like to troll silly tourists...

I used to think food companies set up hidden cameras around everyone's houses to see how they eat foods so they can make commercials that show people eating their food in a normal way. I honestly have no idea why I thought that but it just made sense in my 8-year-old mind.

I used to think television shows (and commercials) were all improvised, until I took TV production classes in high school and found out it was all pre-scripted. Since then, my views on watching TV have changed.

Haha, me and my friend used to believe there was a planet where all cartoon characters lived.

Let's see, what else? I always somewhat believed my toys were alive like in Toy Story... obviously I don't believe that now and it's a rather scary thought. And of course like pretty much every child, I believed in Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy and all that. I used to believe the Easter Bunny came through to our world through a mirror every Easter, and that she lived in a world where everything was really bright and there were chicks and candy eggs everywhere. And that Mother Nature was an actual figure, and if I asked her to make it stop raining maybe she would listen. I was an overly imaginative child :U

Apart from that, bedbugs are not invisible like many people think. They're about 3/4 of the size of your pinky fingernail and a reddish-brown colour, pending if they've fed or not. You can see them and they live inside matresses, seams and electrical panelling. They're nasty lol

Nah but I actually used to believe that there were evil Koalas that eat people.. I was young and my brother told me and showed me a picture, shh.

I thought babies came out from the stomach when they are born. I mean.. sometimes they do come out from the stomach but I thought they ONLY came out from the stomach and nowhere else ;~;

Me too! I thought thats what the belly buttons were for, and they just like opened up, but turns out it's not the belly button.. Also, on that note, I used to think boys and girls had the same thing-a-ding-lings. Haha

I thought that if you got too close to a screen your eyeballs would pop out of your head and stick there. It didn't help me realize this wasn't true when I was told this would happen several times from several adults.

I was very scared of the dark when I was little, and used to think that monsters would get me whenever I didn't have the lights turned on. I used to think monsters were hiding under my bed, too, so I would make my mom check my bed every night before I went to sleep. I also used to think that dolls were possessed by ghosts, so I'd cry ever time I got anywhere near them. I was such a scaredy-cat, haha.
